I am passionate about the opportunities that exist at the intersections of networking, private equity, and investment sourcing. With 30+ years of experience on Wall Street, I have a deep understanding of how to identify world-class business platforms that create value for investors. I believe diversity is a critical factor in finance and have been recognized by many prominent organizations for my leadership around DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion). I am a sought-after speaker at many industry conferences to discuss DEI, women in finance, and business development. Keynote speeches include "Why Now is a Great Time to be a Woman in Finance" - "Latest Deal Flow & M&A Strategies in Private Equity"My diversity efforts include co-founding Exponent Women, a network for women deal makers. In 2021, I was named to the prestigious Forbes 50 Women Over 50 in the investment industry. For 2020, The Wall Street Journal named me as one of the “Women to Watch in Private Equity” and was also selected to be on the powerful “DealMakeHers” list. In 2020 and 2021, I was honored as one of the Most Influential Women in Mid-Market M&A, by M&A Magazine.When I am not dealmaking and empowering women, I enjoy skiing, dancing, reading books, and wine with friends.
